1. GC: You will give the relations of this entity and the universe, and the universal forces; giving the conditions which are as personalities, latent and exhibited in the present life; also the former appearances in the earth plane, giving time, place and the name, and that in each life which built or retarded the development for the entity; giving the abilities of the present entity, that to which it may attain, and how. You will answer the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known as or called [3646]. In giving an interpretation of the records, much of these would be rather directed towards those responsible for this entity's entrance into the earth. For, if there is kept that which shows the purpose of the entity's entrance, this entity may have much to do with the changing of the thought of many peoples.
3. Thus we would give that direction towards which there should be the training, the counseling, and then - when the entity has reached those periods of its own choice, or at thirteen years of age - we would give further directions, if these are sought by the entity itself.
4. With all of the horrors of destruction, with all the trials in the minds of men, in this period through which this entity and associates in its early experiences are passing, do keep the ability to see not only the sublime things in life, but the humor, the wit, yes, the ridiculous also - that may be drawn from the cynic as well as the pessimist, as in cartoons and the like.
5. For the entity should be trained in the abilities as a writer. Thus not as an historian in the sense of secular history, but as of literature, as one using those conditions in the experience of individuals as historical facts upon

which would be the background of such writings.
6. Thus those conditions that would have to do with bringing English, as well as other languages to the better interpretation, may the entity be trained. And when the periods arise, there may be brought the better understanding.
7. For the entity in an experience before this was a jester in the Court of England, in the name H. Hockersmith. In the experience the entity set many things in order when there were those great stresses owing to the selfishness of men.
8. Also the entity was among those peoples of Israel who entered the Holy Land, who were married to the Canaanites; yet the entity was not among those who led the children of Israel astray. For it forsook Astheroth and served rather the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, as the one that led the children of Israel through the Red Sea, through the Jordan.
9. Thus may the entity gain in the knowledge, in the study of those, even in its early years.
10. But when the entity is thirteen years, we would give further directions.
11. Train him especially in English, and at Eaton.
12. We are through with this reading. Copy to Mother " " Ass'n file " " Sgt. Hugh Lynn Cayce
